Open letter to Urreich couple

Today, we announce with a deep heart that our son Lun died a few weeks ago due to long-term serious illness.

It is very difficult for us to disclose this, but for our family, it is an important step to let the people and the public understand the truth. Now, we are working with our daughter to return to normal life step by step.

Special thanks to our family, friends and Bayern Munich for their prudence and strong support over the past few months – which means a lot to us.

We urge the public and media representatives to respect and understand our privacy. We urge you not to make any further inquiries or make any statements. Public information shows that Urreich and his wife Lisa have a son and a daughter, including Maria, who is 9 years old and her son Lun was born at the end of 2018.

Urreich had been absent from training for a long time last year due to personal reasons.
